In-Fastener Shut-Off
WARNING
The in-fastener shut-off must be positioned properly before
placing the cot into service. Failure to install the in-fastener
shut-off may cause injury to the patient or operator and/or
damage to the vehicle.
The ambulance cot and fastener system have an integrated
in-fastener shut-off function that disables the cot motor when
the cot is secured in the ambulance cot fastener. Be sure
the bolts on the fastener are tightened before installing the
shut-off bracket. The shut-off magnet must be installed on
the rail clamp assembly before putting the ambulance cot into
service.
1.
Place the ambulance cot into a loading position (any
position where the load wheels of the head section meet
the vehicle floor height). Roll the ambulance cot to the
open door of the patient compartment. Lift the vehicle
bumper to the raised position (if possible).
2.
Push the ambulance cot forward until the load wheels
are on the patient compartment floor and the safety bar
passes the safety hook.
3.
For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the ambulance
cot until the safety bar engages the safety hook.
4.
Raise the base and push the ambulance cot into the
patient compartment following loading instructions.
5.
Engage the extended head section of the cot into the cot
fastener antler and secure the cot post into the fastener
rail clamp.
6.
Adjust the magnet assembly along the rail clamp until the
arrow on the sensor housing is lined up with the fastener
as shown in Figure 7.
7.
Using a T27 Torx wrench, securely fasten the bolts attaching
the magnet assembly to the rail clamp assembly.
8.
Press the retract (–) button to ensure the motor does
not turn on while the cot is in the fastener. The battery
indictor will still light. If the cot moves, readjust the the cot
fastener.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the ambulance cot when loaded into
a cot fastener. The in-fastener shut-off is only a means for
disabling the electronic functionality. Damage to the product
or injury to the patient or operator may occur.
In-fastener shut-off must be installed in all ambulances in
which the cot will be used.
